S&M4037 Research Paper of Special Issue https://doi.org/10.18494/SAM5613 Published: May 23, 2025 Feasibility Study of Thallium Bromide Detectors for Boron Neutron Capture Therapy Applications [PDF] Keitaro Hitomi, Mitsuhiro Nogami, Kenichi Watanabe, Nishiki Matsubayashi, and Hiroki Tanaka (Received February 28, 2025; Accepted April 23, 202) Keywords: thallium bromide (TlBr), boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT), gamma-ray detector, compound semiconductor, prompt gamma ray detection
A thallium bromide (TlBr) detector with four-channel readout electrodes was fabricated from a crystal grown by the traveling molten zone method from a zone-purified material for boron neutron capture therapy applications. The detector crystal dimensions were 12 × 12 × 10 mm3. The detector had four circular anodes of 2 mm diameter. The detector exhibited energy resolutions sufficient to resolve 478 keV gamma rays from 511 keV gamma rays. A prompt gamma-ray detection system was constructed using the TlBr detector and a tungsten collimator. A mouse phantom with a tumor sphere containing 1475 ppm 10B was irradiated with thermal neutrons. The 10B distribution was imaged successfully with the TlBr detector system. The detector system exhibited a linear relationship between the counts for 478 keV and the 10B concentration in the range of 0–5000 ppm.
